Definitions

  • the invention relates to a soldering nest for a bus bar, and may find primary use in power-current devices including semiconductors and in power-current control systems.
  • defects In power-current systems which utilize copper or brass bus bars to conduct currents of at least 10 A, semiconductor devices and the ends of connecting wires are joined to the bus bar by soldering. Based on the examination of defect statistics and manufacturing waste, it has been found that most of the defects occur at the locations of soldering.
  • the defects may be divided into two main groups: defects of the semiconductor elements occurring during soldering or as a result thereof and defects which occur at the location of soldering because of an imperfect contact and which are noticeable only after a prolonged service.
  • the bus bar is a good heat conductor and a heat transmission for an extended period is needed to obtain the required temperature through the bore or gap for suitably melting the soldering material.
  • heat transmission occurs for a short period of time, no bond is obtained along a suitably large surface, and while some electric connection will be present, its transitional resistance will be large. This circumstance gives rise to defects—which manifest themselves only in the course of prolonged use—because the larger transitional resistance resulting from the smaller connecting area causes a local heat-up which further damages the contact, rendering the defect noticeable sooner or later.
  • the soldering iron is maintained in place for a longer period than necessary to obtain the suitable temperature, the terminal lead of the semiconductor is exposed for a long period to the effect of the greater heat and, as a consequence of the good heat conductivity, it is the semiconductor which will be adversely affected because of the prolonged high temperature.
  • An optimal situation is highly uncertain and depends from many factors that are difficult to control.
  • the bore to be provided in the bus bar should be conical rather than cylindrical, and further, the wide side of the bore should be on that side of the bus bar which is opposite the side where the cylindrical element is to be introduced.
  • the cone angle is at least 30°, expediently 50°-90°, and at the cone apex an aperture is provided which is loosely adapted to the diameter of the cylindrical element for permitting a ready introduction thereof.
  • the aperture is a short cylindrical portion which changes into the widening cone.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a soldered joint according to the prior art
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a soldering nest provided in a bus bar according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a conventional solution.
  • the bus bar 1 is of a good electric and heat conducting material, such as copper, a copper alloy or silver, and contains a cylindrical soldering bore 2 .
  • a terminal lead 4 of a semiconductor device (not shown) may be fitted loosely into the soldering bore 2 .
  • the semiconductor terminal lead is cylindrical and is of a well-solderable material. Instead of the terminal lead 4 , a wire end of similar diameter, but not belonging to a semiconductor may be joined to the bus bar 1 .
  • the dimensions in FIG. 1 are exaggerated: in reality, the distance between the soldering bore 2 and the terminal lead 4 is less.
  • the end of the terminal lead 4 projecting beyond the plane of the bus bar 1 is cut off.
  • the hot soldering iron (not shown) is touched to that surface of the bus bar which is opposite to the semiconductor device, and between the bus bar plane and the soldering iron soldering tin is placed which melts and enhances heat transmission along a large area. Since the bus bar 1 is relatively thick and is a good heat conductor, the heat of the soldering iron spreads rapidly along a large surface. Transversely to the surface plane, however, the bus bar 1 , particularly the side of the bore 2 oriented toward the semiconductor device, heats up relatively late.
  • the speed of the heat-up is impeded by the fact that the semiconductor device cools the terminal lead 4 and furthermore, the molten tin is not capable of transmitting a suitable quantity of heat through the narrow gap between the terminal lead 4 and the bore 2 .
  • the technician performing the soldering operation keeps observing the outer surface of the bus bar 1 and upon seeing the tin melt and flow, concludes that the terminal lead 4 has satisfactorily bonded with the bus bar 1 and therefore removes the soldering iron and cools the bus bar with a coolant.
  • Such a soldering may result in a bond between the bus bar 1 and the soldering material and between the latter and the terminal lead 4 solely in the uppermost small portion of the bore 2 .
  • an excessive heat-up of the bus bar 1 may expose the non-illustrated semiconductor device to overheating and thus may damage the same and likewise, any device which is soldered to the bus bar 1 in the vicinity of the bore 2 may be overheated.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the solution according to the invention, which provides a conical bore 20 in the bus bar 10 .
  • the semiconductor device to be soldered and its terminal lead 40 joins the bus bar 10 from the narrow end of the conical bore 20 .
  • the conical bore 20 has, at its end oriented toward the semiconductor device, a circular opening 21 which has a diameter similar to that of the bore 2 and which may join the conical bore 20 directly or by a short cylindrical portion (not shown).
  • the cone angle of the conical bore 20 is expediently between 50°-90°; its size is not critical, but should be at least 30°.
  • the soldering iron In performing the soldering, the soldering iron is again approached from that side of the bus bar 10 which is opposite to the semiconductor device, but in this case a larger quantity of molten soldering tin may be placed under the soldering iron.
  • the molten soldering tin cones into contact with the entire conical surface of the conical bore 20 and the molten soldering material 30 fills out the conical cavity in a few moments. Due to the large heat transferring surface, in the region of the terminal lead 40 and the bus bar 10 , as well as in the region of the conical bore 20 , the bus bar 10 heats up rapidly and reaches the temperature needed for soldering.
  • the inner surfaces of the conical bore 20 and the soldering material 30 are substantially larger than the inner surface of the cylindrical bore 2 , and the large surface assumes in its entirety the temperature needed for soldering; further, a uniform soldered bond of the terminal lead 40 along its entire length is also ensured. It is known that the soldering tin binds at the moment a required temperature and an oxide-free surface become available in the region of the adjacent surfaces. The large soldering space also enhances suitable results of the effect of the flux agents present in the soldering tin.
  • the soldering material 30 develops a convex top surface due to surface tension.
